Also, after thinking more about what you said at the very end there, I'm very confused about what you're hypothesizing here.
We can experimentally observe coherent quantum systems. That's what quantum entanglement is. These system are, by their very definition, not collapsing spontaneously every unit of Plank time. Also, nobody believes the wave function evolves in units of Planck time, in a tick-tock way. This is a very very big misunderstanding of what the Planck time actually is. The Planck scale *is* the Newtonian limit. It's the point at which quantum gravity becomes important. Which we notably do not have a working physical theory for, hence all the String Theory and Quantum Loop Gravity stuff that you periodically hear about.
This is just a long way of saying that I'm actually really confused as to what you're actually saying, here.
